180. From the Water to the Canvas with artist Paul Puckett
In this episode of Dads on the Fly, we sit down with renowned sporting artist Paul Puckett to talk about the journey that led him to combine his love for fly fishing and art into a career. Growing up fishing with his grandfathers in Texas and later working in fly shops across the country, Paul found a way to turn the moments we all love on the water into paintings that tell a story.
We talk about how travel, family, and time on the water have shaped his life, why certain fishing memories stay with us forever, and how creativity often comes from simply paying attention to the places and people around us. Paul also shares stories from his adventures around the world, what inspires his famous “catch and release” paintings, and how being a dad influences the way he looks at both art and fishing.
This episode is about more than art or fly fishing — it’s about slowing down, making memories, and learning to appreciate the moments that matter most.
